Poached Salmon (don’t be like me)

I thought that after my salmon chowder post, my seafood fears were gone. Apparently I was wrong, because I just now got around to cooking the rest of the salmon I received from Foodbuzz. And I was nervous about...

Vanilla Chai Cupcakes

How good do these vanilla chai cupcakes look?? They are so perfect for fall. They are full of cinnamon and spice and have the wonderful taste of chai tea – in cupcake form! They are light and cake-like, and...

Love…through food (redefining my purpose)

This post has been weeks in the making. I’ve been thinking about the purpose of my blog ever since I went to the Food Blog Forum conference in Atlanta. You might have noticed a few minor changes going on...

Lime Sandwich Cookies

Summer is officially over and it’s starting to feel like fall up here in Michigan. I noticed a few leaves changing, the air is cooler, and of course school has started. If you’re not ready to say good-by to...
